Chapter 51 Encountered a car accident when going out
Liu Liang was full of confidence. No matter how he thought, he would never overturn this time.
The previous prediction of "Zen" failed, which is a special situation.
Is there any problem with Liu Liang's evaluation of "Zen"? In fact, it's not a big problem. This game has a simple scene and a single gameplay. Normally, it should be unknown!
I just didn't expect that this game inexplicably did some things right, hit some players' points, received "rave reviews", and gained popularity outside the industry.
As a result, its connotation was amplified, the elements buried in it that could be over-interpreted were dug out, and the original shortcomings became a unique temperament.
As a result, Liu Liang overturned.
But "Ordinary Life" does not have this risk at all, because its shortcomings are definitely different from "Zen".
Its connotation can actually be seen at a glance: it shows the lives of ordinary people and allows players to experience the excitement of survival games in a real background through the gameplay of a worker simulator.
But the problem is that in order to highlight this connotation, a large amount of game content is needed as support, so in the final analysis it is still a matter of research and development capabilities.
Studio 404 is composed of just four freshman students. It is already a miracle that they can make "In My Eyes". How can they make another "Ordinary Life"?
The size of the latter is more than dozens of times that of the former, right?
So what if new technology is used? Officials also said that this new technology has many problems. Although the material is generated quickly, the accuracy is very worrying. Basically, it has to be repaired by an artist before it can be used.
Can the authorities still lie to people?
In short, "Ordinary Life" probably committed the common problems of novice designers: they did not control costs well, and the ideas were good, but they were far beyond their capabilities.
Thinking of this, Liu Liang immediately started making videos.
"This time, I must win everything back, restart my winning streak, and get back my status as a 'prophet'!"
His video was made very quickly, and it only took an hour to complete and upload it.
Immediately after uploading, Liu Liang quickly went through the fan comments.
At this time, the game has not been officially released, so players have not yet been able to play the game and cannot judge whether Liu Liang's prediction is accurate.
The only thing they could tell was that Liu Liang was a bit shameless this time.
"The predictions for "High School Show" are okay, but what the hell are the predictions for "Ordinary Life"? What do you mean by 'this game will definitely not receive rave reviews'?"
"Good guy, old cow, what do you call prediction? You have to use the elimination method, right?"
"You might as well predict that "Ordinary Life" won't be able to sell 100 million copies!"
"I think Lao Niu just doesn't want to draw the lottery!"
"It's hard to say, what if the car overturns?"
"Is this going to overturn the situation? So don't call yourself 'prophet', just call yourself 'poisonous milk master'!"
Fans' comments include criticism, ridicule, and enjoyment.
Liu Liang was unmoved: "Oh, what do you know about predictions? Anyway, the broadcast will start at nine o'clock tonight, let the bullets fly for a while, time will prove that I am right!"
The game will be released at 8 o'clock, but the reviews will definitely not be refreshed immediately.
Generally, the evaluation of the game can be roughly determined after an hour.
So Liu Liang chose to start the broadcast at 9 o'clock. He wanted to directly open the game page and show all the viewers his extremely correct prediction results!
…
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Xu Jing started broadcasting on time.
"Today we are live broadcasting VR games, let me see... Well, the firmware of the VR helmet has been updated, and all the games in the official topic have been downloaded."
Xu Jing checked the various equipment needed for her live broadcast, and everything was OK.
In order to promote new technologies, the official has made a simultaneous upgrade to the fifth-generation VR helmet. Players can use it to directly experience games produced in the "Tai Qing" deep space. There is no essential difference from the traditional VR game experience.
In addition, the official has also upgraded the original streaming software, so that games produced by "Tai Qing" deep space can also be pushed to computers or other display devices.
During the VR game live broadcast, the system will automatically generate three different perspectives, namely first-person perspective, third-person over-the-shoulder perspective and God's perspective. Players can choose their favorite perspective to watch.
Although it is best to play VR games in person, and the live broadcast effect is worse than that on computers and mobile phones, if the VR games themselves are good enough, they can make up for this gap.
The viewers in the live broadcast room couldn't wait any longer and knocked on their bowls to wait for their meal.
"Jingjing really broadcasts civil servants live. It starts broadcasting at 8 o'clock every day. Can't you come an hour earlier?"
"That won't work. Other anchors have signed barrage contracts with the platform. Only Jingjing has signed a time contract. You can't work an extra minute!"
"You should learn from Lao Niu. Lao Niu immediately released a video after watching the press conference. This efficiency is incredible."
"Lao Niu has released a new video? I haven't watched it yet. Which game did you predict this time?"
"I mentioned them briefly, but I mainly talked about "High School Show" and "Ordinary Life."
"I watched Lao Niu's video. He said that "High School Show" was 'mostly well received', but that 'Ordinary Life' would definitely not be 'rave reviews'."
"Why are you still using the elimination method?"
"Hahaha, I mean, maybe it was because the car crashed so badly last time that he got scared, right? But from his attitude, it can be seen that he is still not optimistic about "Ordinary Life" on the whole."
"Why don't you like it? The promotional video is pretty good."
"I think Lao Niu's prediction is reasonable. The producer of this game, 404 Studio, is just four freshman students. They have just finished "In My Eyes" and they definitely don't have the energy to make "Ordinary Life" like in the promotional video.
."
"Really? So what exactly is this game like?"
"I don't know, it's just been released, and no one has discussed it online yet. Why don't Jingjing play "Ordinary Life" first?"
Xu Jing praised: "Well, I think so too! With "In My Eyes of You" in front of me, I choose to believe in 404 Studio!"
She put on the VR helmet, adjusted the live broadcast settings, and then found the entrance to "Ordinary Life" in the login hall.
This entrance is quite interesting, it looks like a bus door.
Xu Jing stepped in, and the next second, she found that she was actually on a bus.
…
"Hey? Is the transition of this game so smooth?
"Wait a minute, this scene is too real!"
The moment the picture appeared, Xu Jing and all the viewers in the live broadcast room were shocked.
All the previous barrage of debates disappeared, replaced by "WTF" that filled the screen.
Because whether it is the bus, the driver or passengers in the bus, or the vehicles or pedestrians seen through the window, they are all extremely real, and they are completely fake!
She tried to pat the shoulder of the aunt in front of her: "How are you, aunt?"
The aunt turned to glare at her very unhappy and ignored her.
"Fortunately, the traditional character AI is still used. Otherwise, such a real scene would be a bit scary."
Xu Jing patted her chest and felt much more at ease.
The so-called traditional character AI is an AI template that is also commonly used in other VR games. To put it simply, the NPCs in the game will only respond specifically to the player's specific behaviors. In addition, some other behaviors will be used.
Templated responses "fool the past".
For example, if you say some designated dialogues with keywords to the NPC, he will respond in line with the progress of the plot; if you beat the NPC, a special mechanism in the game will be triggered. You may be counterattacked by the NPC, or you may be caught.
stand up.
Of course, when NPCs have some special plots, they will also proactively give some hints, allowing players to activate the plot more naturally.
In addition, if players perform certain behaviors in front of NPCs, such as walking around and jumping around, they will only look at them with strange eyes and will not take any further actions.
At first glance, this approach seems a bit crude and not worthy of such a powerful consciousness-connected VR technology, but if you think about it carefully, you will understand that this is the best solution at present.
If everything were completely based on reality, players would have too many restrictions in the game and would be very unhappy.
What's more, there is currently no such powerful AI technology that can allow NPCs to completely simulate all the behaviors of real people.
The reason why Xu Jing was shocked was mainly because the accuracy of the materials in this game was so high. Not to mention PC games, even many previous high-quality VR games were completely killed!
Although the fifth-generation VR helmet uses consciousness connection technology and does not have the screen door effect, the art materials still need to be hand-drawn. After entering the game, once you get very close to the materials, you can still see some differences from reality.
But this time "Ordinary Life" uses new technology to call upon people's deeper consciousness, and Lu Zhixing's materials are extremely accurate. The combination of these factors gives Xu Jing the illusion of traveling through time.
It took a long time to get used to the game.
The viewers in the live broadcast room were shocked.
"Are you sure it's a VR game screen? Is it really not a video?"
"It's too much like a video! The light, shadow, and details, if it weren't for the fact that you could switch the angle of view at will, I would have thought that Jingjing was broadcasting outdoors!"
"What did Lao Niu say? There are only four college students in 404 Studio. This game will definitely not be able to achieve the effect of the promotional video? But now it seems that is not the case at all!"
"Don't worry, it's just a bus scene, maybe it's a scam at the beginning? Other materials may not have such high accuracy."
Xu Jing doesn't know what she is going to do now. There is no clear prompt in this game.
She touched her pocket and took out a mobile phone with a cracked screen.
Mobile phones are relatively simple, with only a few software in them, including chat software, bank APPs and other tool software directly related to real life, as well as "character files", "skill files" and other software that are more biased towards game mechanics.
In "Ordinary Life", players can sign up for classes on their own to learn and master various skills, and can check their various statuses in their character files and skill files.
“Ding dong.
"Hello, dear passengers, we have arrived at Jinghai University North Gate Station. Please get off first and then get on."
The bus has arrived.
This bus will circle around important locations in the game, and players can choose to get off where they like.
Xu Jing didn't know this yet, but she couldn't wait to get out of the car and experience this incredibly realistic virtual world.
Stepping off the bus, everything in front of me was so real.
Xu Jing looked left and right, walking aimlessly on the road. These common elements in real life were moved to the virtual world, almost completely confusing the virtual and the real, making Xu Jing feel a little lost in a trance.
Unknowingly, we reached the main road.
However, at this moment, she heard the harsh sound of car horns and brakes coming from her ears.
"boom!"
Xu Jing felt she was hit hard, then she spun around and fell down on the road.
"Hey? Why did I get hit by a car!"
